    First day and opened promptly at 9 AM. Tons of employees and corporate present. For the most part things went smoothly. It's not big inside but things are laid out so that there's more seating than I expected. I was first to receive my food, even tho third in line. Just got a simple order of a snack taco and drink. The hard shell taco was fresh and stayed together without cracking into pieces unlike the other place. The filling was good and cheese and lettuce was ample. No tomatoes on the snack taco, but for $1.25 it was fine. I was disappointed to learn they won't be serving breakfast at this location, although a corporate person said that might change if there's a demand for it, so you all know what to do!! So welcome back to Durham, Del Taco. Breakfast burritos would definitely be a welcome addition and so would bringing back the salsa bar!!

    Finally has opened! Wasn't busy at all and was able to get in the drive thru rather quickly. Came to find out breakfast isn't being served here which is strange. The design of this building is super modern and eye catching. The food itself seemed just like you'd get it out west. I'm sure they still have some kinks to work out but overall they are doing great!

    I hope the burritos stay this good and it's not just an opening month thing. Hot, gooey, yum!

    Yes, I'm from California and have been waiting for Del Taco to open. If you think my nostalgia will sway my review, you're correct. The first bite of my chicken burrito brought me right back to the 1990's and my Clairemont Drive home location. I also had to get a bean burrito (for science) and it was piping hot! So delicious with some mild sauce. Del Tacos mild sauce has a real black peppery flavor to it that just hits different than the bell. And sadly this was the best tortilla I've had in a while (that was not from a sit down Mexican restaurant). The location can be difficult to get in and out of, especially if it's busy (Don't try to park toward the back left of the building - you'll get stuck and have to back out). Those working the drive thru were kind and patient. My husband ordered nacho fries and she said we don't have that. It's fries with queso on it - a West Coast Del Taco staple! She was able to accommodate and life can go on. The outside of the building is cute, minimalist compared to how remember it looking, but it's nice. I agree with other early reviewers that breakfast service would be a nice addition. Come check it out. If you don't like it, more for us West Coast transplants.

    To the point positive and negative review: + Open till 3am + Friendly and helpful staff + Good enough seating in lobby + Food about on the level of Moe's (above Taco Bell) - They have no breakfast? (major misstep being on the edge of RTP with people coming into work) - The traffic pattern around the restaurant is terrible (Don't come in from the gas station or try to drive around the building unless in the drive thru) -Overhyped because transplants from the west are excited about a taste of home. (Nothing wrong with this! Still overhyped though) -They have a burger on the menu. If you're going to a place called Del Taco and ordering a burger with Cookout being right across the street please stop what you are doing and read a few more of my reviews. Overall if I was in the area I would stop here but it's not worth making a special trip for unless you've grown up around it. If they open up breakfast it may be a different story we'll see! 4 Stars rating based on fast food restaurants only.

    So glad a del taco cane to the area! I've always enjoyed their food. The basics like rice, beans, and meat have always seemed like better quality at del taco than the other taco place with a bell. My favorite are their fries, especially chili cheese or carne asada, fish tacos, any of their cali burritos, and the basics bean and cheese burritos with green sauce. The inside is fresh and new with bright colors and helpful staff. They don't seem to have all the promo items but hopefully with time they'll participate in them. One bummer is they don't serve breakfast hopefully they'll add that as well.

    Keeping it honest, I'm excited that this spot is in Durham, North Carolina. Just tried them for the first time and the food is good. The quantity is wild. Or maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. I was excited when I saw value menu where they had à la cart tacos price at $1.30. I ordered one and when I got that taco, it was so small, it was literally perfect for a kid. I also ordered a fish taco, which was no more than three bites. I ordered these donut holes that were actually pretty tasty. However they were extremely greasy. I also ordered the snack size queso and chips and that was a joke. there was 11 chips in the bag and a small ramekin of queso. My first time at this taco spot and I was excited because of them first breaking into this area, but my goodness, the portions are pretty small or maybe I just ordered the wrong things. Great taste though

    Great experience! Food was perfect, great portions. Staff was available , self service or someone will take your order . Clean ! Awesome! Owner, management and staff ! A+

    Came here after the Durham Farmers Market with a friend and wow this place was a surprise. …read more I went with the grain bowl and honestly it is one of the best I have had in downtown Durham. It is built on quinoa and rice with black beans and kale, then layered with corn salsa, tomato cortido, guacamole, and a creamy acevichado style sauce that pulls everything together. It is finished with a crunchy mix of pepitas, nuts, and grains. The balance is quite ideal in my view. My friend had the rotisserie chicken with two sides, kale and slaw, and it was just as impressive. Crispy skin, juicy inside, and really clean flavors. Simple food done right and GF friendly. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared. Prices land right where you would expect for the quality, roughly 16 to 21 dollars depending on what you order, and it feels worth it. My bowl plus side of dark chicken was plenty. A few notes. Parking is what you would expect for downtown, so plan accordingly. Service was solid and friendly, but nothing that stood out. The vibe inside is festive and relaxed, bright and open, and just a fun place to hang out for lunch. Porbably not a special occasion. I also suspect it could get loud when full. This is definitely going into my regular rotation. That grain bowl is going to be hard to pass up next time, so instead of replacing it I will probably just add a side or an empanada and start working my way through the rest of the menu.

    The empanadas, arepas and Luna Grain Bowl were awesome. We had their generous portions and…read moreperfectly seasoned chicken, pork and brisket with these. Their cocktails were also very good. Nice decor and vibe. Service was also good.
